Congratulations Gaillard! Thank you for working to protect our waters and wildlife! 🎉

MAYOR PRAISES SCOUT PROJECT
A UMS-Wright student is being recognized for a project designed to help protect local waterways.

In his Good Evening Mobile newsletter, Mayor Spiro Cheriogotis highlighted the work of Gaillard Passmore, a member of UMS-Wright's Class of 2029, who installed 35 fishing line disposal bins, known as line lockers, at waterfront parks across the area as part of an Eagle Scout project completed in partnership with Mobile Baykeeper.

The line lockers are made from 3-foot sections of PVC pipe with removable bases that can be easily emptied. The bins provide anglers with a place to dispose of used fishing line, helping prevent it from entering waterways and negatively impacting the environment.

According to the mayor, Passmore came up with the idea because of his love of fishing.

Passmore said the project has been rewarding and that he is excited to see how it impacts the area.

Cheriogotis praised the student's efforts, saying his contribution to the city and region will not go unnoticed and will have a positive impact on those who enjoy fishing and the outdoors.

Thank you FOX10 News for continuing to support our sustainability and water quality efforts on Dog River! Our partners at Osprey Initiative and City of Mobile, along with concerned citizens have helped make a major difference for what litter we see IN the river!

Mobile winning ‘war on litter,’ says company charged with keeping waterways clear

Then-Mayor Sandy Stimpson declared a war on litter in Mobile in 2014. A little more than a decade later, Jack Bates says the city is winning.

Dog River Clearwater Revival will miss our friend. 💔

Brandon Wilson brought his exuberant zest for life to the banks of Dog River for many years. He wasn’t just a leader on the water—guiding kayaking excursions and sharing the beauty of the Dog—he was also a devoted volunteer who gave back generously to help protect and preserve our river. Brandon especially enjoyed events like MudBottom Revival and the Great Drift in his kayak, where his energy and spirit were always felt. His presence made a lasting impact on this community, and he will be deeply missed. Well done, good and faithful servant.

To everyone who showed up, brought a friend, spread out a blanket, danced under the oaks, bought a raffle ticket and made memories with us—thank you. Your presence is what brings this event to life year after year.

To our sponsors, event partners, and musical artists, your support and talent created an experience that felt effortless, but we know the level of commitment behind it. And to our volunteers, the ones behind the scenes, on the docks, at the gates, and everywhere in between, you are the heartbeat of this event. Because of you, MudBottom is more than a music festival. It’s the fuel behind the work of Dog River Clearwater Revival.

Every ticket purchased, every raffle entry, every sponsorship helps us continue our mission: creating a place where people can live, work, and play in a clean, safe, and accessible Dog River Watershed. That means cleaner water, stronger environmental education, restored habitats, and a community empowered to care for this incredible resource.

You didn’t just support a great event, you helped move our mission forward all year long. From the bottom of our muddy boots, thank you for being part of MudBottom magic.

We'd love your feedback to help improve our event! Visit www.dogriver.org to take our survey and grab some more MudBottom merch!!! We’ll see you next year!
